The modern industrial policy of a metropolis consists of a broad concept that goes beyond the strategy of improving the competitiveness of individual companies and sectors.The government views creation and support of specialized industrial infrastructure in a metropolis as the main catalyst of a city, which enables enterprises and people to acquire new opportunities to accelerate growth and socioeconomic development. In addition to expanding the capabilities of the innovative technological ecosystem through a number of targeted strategic initiatives and a standard set of benefits, special economic zones and technology parks need to take into account the importance of such factors as the availability of the required engineering infrastructure, a potential sales market, raw materials, labour resources and logistics. How do you create the largest research base in a city and transform the results of innovative research into advanced market products and solutions? How do you ensure success in commercializing the innovations of partner companies and developing their markets locally and internationally? What measures should be taken to attract high-level specialists and provide a comfortable environment to work and live in?

Discussion topics:– Industrial growth strategy. Enhancing competitiveness and promoting innovation through industrial policy– Sustainable urban development and economic performance. Are benefits a form of lost profit or tax revenue from investments attracted in the future?– Industry specialization and manufacturing formats in metropolises– The role of industrial infrastructure in solving social problems– Infrastructure solutions and the legal framework. What can help ensure the inflow of investors and capital?– Business expectations and demand. What requirements do residents have?– Development of urban industrial sites and special economic zones.

“Digital economy is a new paradigm for the development of the state, the economy and society.”

To the participants, organizers and guests of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum 2019

I extend warm greetings to all the Forum participants and guests.

For more than two decades now, the Forum has been contributing in significant ways to finding answers to the key questions the world is facing today, and shaping a meaningful and constructive agenda for far-reaching international cooperation in the interests of sustainable and balanced development. This year government officials, prominent politicians and experts, as well as business leaders and researchers, will come together to discuss the future of the Russian and global economy and exchange views on various matters related to digitalisation and the technological challenges, as well as such urgent problems as climate change and growing social inequality.

We are all, undoubtedly, committed to promoting peace and security in the world, preserving and multiplying the cultural heritage of humankind so that people from across the world can fulfil their potential, get an education and work in dignity, confident in the future of their children. In order to deliver on these objectives, we need an economy that is strong and effective, honest and transparent global trade rules, free exchange in investment and technologies, and competition that is healthy and fair. Russia is open to proactive and equitable cooperation with all countries, regional and international organisations for achieving overall economic growth, developing transport, energy and telecommunications infrastructures, and promoting integration processes, including in Eurasia and the Asia-Pacific Region.

I strongly believe that the recommendations developed at the Forum and the agreements signed on its sidelines will serve the cause of enhancing international partnerships and building a prosperous future for our countries and peoples.
